To my ear, ILBC sounds much better than GSM. It's slightly more efficient, and more tolerant of things like packet loss. Some folks, hate the sound of ILBC encoded calls. Your other choice would be G.726/32. * supports it, as do many ATA's and softphones.

What do you mean by "get 300 simultaneous calls"? If you plan on using that platform as a PSTN gateway, using multiple Digium TE4xxP cards, the answer is probably not. Assuming that you will want to save on bandwidth costs by using a codec that provides a substantial degree of compression (G.729), there's no way that the spec'd box will transcode 300 channels. If Digium's (rather sparse) dimensioning information is to be believed, you'd need three such boxes to terminate that load. On the other hand, if your box will simply be serving as a gateway to gain the significant bandwidth savings afforded by IAX2 trunking, and relying on other hardware to actually terminate the calls, then yes, it could do handle that load and more, since it is functioning as little more than a router in that role. IF you are able to use asterisk and take advantage of IAX2 trunking, and using G.729, you could do 300 simultaneous calls with about 3 mbps. ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

The extra trip around the country will add significantly to the latency of the voice traffic, probably in the neighborhood of 120 milliseconds, in your example. This is enough to cause problems for some callers. Others (most, probably) won't even notice it. This assumes, of course, that the call doesn't bounce around the IP network some more, after you've sent it to your termination provider in Dallas. As for the cost, assuming that you are paying to have both the origination and termination legs transit your switch via VOIP anyway, I don't see where any additional cost would be incurred by routing it to Dallas. -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

The billing increment is set in the "brands" table. When you create cards, this value is copied into the "inc" column in the "cards" table. (I'll spare us the rant on normalization here...) The per call minimum is set in the "includedseconds" column, in the "routes" table.

So, in theory, you set all your cards for 6 second increments, and you set your routes to 6, 30, or 60 "includedseconds". That's the theory, but the stock ASTCC code has a bug in the way it makes this computation. Darren has reopened the bug report. -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

When it goes into effect it will require "interconnected" VOIP lines (defined as those enabling calls both to and from the PSTN) to provide access to the appropriate local PSAP, via the appropriate selective router (where on exists for that location).

IMHO this is a bug but I've not gotten > enough feedback > to put the patch through. Therefore the patch has been closed. :-) I spent an afternoon going through that code again, Darren. You were right. If we assume that the intent was to use the "includedseconds" column value as a way to allow for x/y billing intervals, and set "connectcost" to the value that we want to charge for the call minimum charge - "x", the stock code charges that amount, but also starts the meter running on the "y" value from the start of the call, resulting in an over charge. The "y" value, by the way, is set in the "brands" table and flows to the "cards" table when cards are created (breaking normalization). For example, we have a route to McMurdo Station for which we charge $.50 per minute, in six second increments with a 30 second minimum (30/6). If we set the connect charge column to $.25, the included seconds to 30, and the cost to $.50, a 30 second call should cost $.25. Instead, it's costing $.50, because ASTCC charged the connect fee, plus the cost of 5 six second increments - $.25. It shouldn't start charging those six second increments until AFTER the "includedseconds" interval has passed. I've patched by scripts to correct this. It would be nice if the correction were made to the distributed source, perhaps with some documentation of how things are supposed to work. -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

I agree that ASTCC is, at present, wholly deficient in managing y/x billing schemes (anywhere y != x). I'd rather NOT use the connect fee to do this. If we're going to fix it, let's fix it right. I don't have time to hammer it out right now, but it seems to me that as long as y is evenly divisible by x (resulting in an integer value), it should be pretty simple to come up with an algorithm that will properly handle things like 30/6, 60/30, 6/1, etc. -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

Remember, the int() function removes the value to the right of the decimal point - so int(($answerdtime + $increment -1) / $increment) = 25 and not 25.3~, as your example appears to show. This makes $adjtime actually 150, not 152. > eval { $cost = int($adjcost * $adjtime / 60) }; > #cost = 253 Corrected, this would be 250. Viewed another way, using a 6 second increment, 147 seconds represents 25 such increments (actually 24.5, but we get all of the last increment, so it's 25). 25 * 10 (the cost of one 6-second increment) = 250. > $cost += $adjconn; > #Total Cost = 353 > > 2.

I'm not certain, but it appears that you've taken out the formula that factors in the billing increment. This forumla, inything other than a 1 second incement, will always "add" time to the call for any number of seconds not equally divisible by the billing increment integer, resulting in a slightly higher cost than might be expected at first glance.

Again, this is not the way to do this. Dozens, or hundreds of clients constantly hammering a server with "Have you got anything new? No?

This is exacly what the previous poster (the one I replied to) was trying to AVOID, and for good reason. It doesn't scale. In order to be effective as a way to present the user with caller-ID driven data, it would have to poll quite frequently. With a handful of clients constantly doing this, the impact is inconsequential, but as the number of clients hammering the server in this manner climbs, things are going to break. -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

Any ideas? And that's the real trick. Web browsers, unless they are instructed to do otherwise, don't DO anything once they've completed loading a page. So without instructing them to refresh, they aren't going to be aware of a server-side change, such as an incoming call. For that, you're going to have to have some way of sending a message TO the client machine, have it received by that machine, and have that client machine take the desired action (pop up an incoming call dialog, load a contact record, etc.). -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

The wait is long, to be sure, but there are humans there. The human I spoke to took time to do what trouble-shooting he could, was grateful to have a clue-ful asterisk user that could at least tell him what errors were being returned, and then eventually explained that the problem was with a vendor and that the ETR supplied by the vendor was long passed. He could offer no realistic estimate for restoration of service. It's a shame that they can't get things fixed.

First of all, one has to ask why you need PBX functionality at all? As this is an apartment building, won't the tennants be looking for PSTN dial-tone, rather than local (PBX) dial-tone? Assuming that there is something missing here... You could treat this as a "hospitality" (hotel) type environment, but would certainly have to allow for a lower station:trunk ratio. Still, the thing to do would be to deploy channel banks (Adtran, Adit, etc.) that would be aggregated into the number of E1 ports on your * box required to handle the projected traffic. In other words, you will not encounter a condition where every station will be in use at the same time, so you don't need that many DS0's (channels, if you will) at the PBX. -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

I'm sure this is true. Users, which is to say "CUSTOMERS" can be maddeningly clueless at times. However that is still no excuse for bullying and threatening. Qwest and others have learned over the last several years, and much to their dismay, that even simple indifference to customer concerns will result in a wholesale exodus as soon as other alternatives become available. Treating customers with the outright contempt that LiveVoIP displays with the statement in question is, again, staggering in it's short-sightedness. > Regardless of what their web site says, they've provided me with the > best service of the half dozen itsp's that I've worked with > directly. And, I don't work for them or represent them. My experience with them has been likewise positive, which proves that they are at least capable of providing good service, on occasion. The fact that some users are frustrated to the point of posting here in this list in order to get the attention of the company's principals, SHOULD strike those principals as a clanging alarm that something in their customer service system is broken. Sadly, the lessons of "Customer Service 101" appear to have been lost on them.

Unbelieavable, and utterly disgraceful.

One doesn't build or "protect" a business by threatening and bullying one's customers. If one is worried about the "bad impression" that complainers are giving about the operation, figure out WHY they are driven to such extremes and DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. It isn't rocket surgery.

I'm open to suggestions. Remember that in a hospitality environment, the volume of simultaneous calls is typically quite low, given the number of stations in the system. You could use 600's with the CMG-02 cards to backhaul to asterisk via MGCP. Asterisk's MGCP handling is not as robust as it might be, but it may serve your needs. Another option would be to bank on that high stations:calls ratio. In other words, you'll never need to provide 700 DS0's directly into the PBX. We spec'd a very similar (400 stations) hospitality system recently using a slug of Adtran 624's hanging off of an Adtran 830 equipped with 5 quad T1/PRI cards. Careful planning and dial-plan design can keep most inter-station traffic at the 830, with only those calls requiring trunk or PBX feature access traversing a small number of T1's between the 830 and the PBX (asterisk). -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

My experience with the Altigen's IP stack is a bit dated, so take this for what it's worth... At the time I was working with it, their VOIP implementation was so bad, that we abandoned it, and resorted to connecting spare analog ports to a Multi-Tech VOIP gateway. This solution worked like a champ. Even if Altigen's VOIP implemenation has gotten more solid, I'd recommend against using it, if for no other reason than the fact that it uses H.323. The H.323 support in Asterisk is spotty. In certain configurations, it seems to work fine, but others, H.323 <--> SIP, for example, it seems to "have issues".

RE: [Asterisk-Users] BroadVoice configuration changes for Outbound
Doing this with no notification whatsoever, let alone notification sufficiently in advance of these changes, was stupid and careless. This move probably broke a significant number of your customers' telephones service. One can only guess at the impact that this careless move had on your customer service department. In the future, give some thought to planning such changes more carefully, announcing them well in advance of implemenatation. I am satisfied enough with my BroadVoice service that I will overlook this incident, but there are lots of other vendors out there. Surely, at least one of them has more concern for their customers than BroadVoice has demonstrated with this fiasco. > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > Dan Weber > Sent: Saturday, March 05, 2005 9:13 AM > To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com > Subject: [Asterisk-Users] BroadVoice configuration changes > for Outbound > > > Today, We have added INVITE Authentication.
